Pave." and its purpose is .0 i i:t i?1 lo dollars to work where they an accomuiish a real good. It is th6 liojic of the United States Treasury Department, which is behind the Movement for the organization of the Ration-wide campaign, that it soon will have hundreds of thousands of mem bers. i_ a. _m it* 11 13 lue luea UL LUC licaauij j partment that these clubs can be or ganized in mills, faotories and other industrial plants; in colleges, normal schools and high schools and in com munity centers generally. The gov ernment, during 1921, will issue a spe cial $1 Treasury Savings Stamp. It is the pla^ that all members of "The Dollar a -Week Club" pledge them selves to buy at least one of those new fl stamps each week. White the $1 stamp, like ttfe 25-cent Thrift Stamp, does not bear interest, the government offers a |26 full inter est-bearing Treasury Savings Certifi cate for twenty $1 stamps, plus a small additional amount of cash. This of fer, it i> hoped, will add great stimulus to the government savings movement and will be the means of inducing many people to acquire the valuable habits of thrift and saving. War Savings Stamps (worth $5 when they mature), will be issued through out the year, as also will the $100 and $1,000 Treasury Savings Certificates. During January of the new year the $5 stamp may be had for $4.12. It will increase Is value 1 cent each month. The January price of the new $25 Treasury Savings Certificate will be $20.60, its value increasing 5 centa a month. The $100 Treasury Savings Certificate may be bought during Jan uary for $82.40. Its monthly Increase in value is 20 cents. All these govern* ment savings securities may be had from postofflces or through banks. CENTIMES and CENTS France, say returned travelers, is barren soil for Bolshevism. Its people are concerning themselves with re habilitating the nation. American economists ascribe the incredible .progress of the French toward restora I tion to the universality of property | ownership, the determination to work, to live on something less than they produce and devotion of the surplus to making France its glorious self of pre-war days. Whatever America may have, H should possess these French virtues more abundantly. The nation should perpetuate itself. Since poverty, growing out of waste, industrial, in dividual and financial inefficiency, creates dissatisfaction, the soil in which anarchy and communism thrive like the noisome weeds they are, it is a wise, patriotic and foreslghted statesmanship that plans to prevent their recurrence in the next genera tion. Su,ch is the basis of the govern ment's "EARN, SAVE AND INVEST* eannaien. It seeks to make each1,boy and girl in school this year a convert to the doctrine that all must work, live within their income and invest their savings to aid the nation and themselves. French millions who saved a few centimes a day, rather than French millionaires, are responsible for France's strength in peace as in war They have, for generations, invested in government securities, and when American millions have that habit, t!:o future of the United States will be as> sured more incontestably than through any other means. And the United States has made easy the formation of such habits, as it offers securities of its own in denominations within the reach of all.

That every effort will be made toj find another way out of a very dif ficult situation, and that another way will be found is the best judg ment of Republican statesmen highest in the councils of the party. Tfce above statements are made without qualification or reservation as the result of information obtain ed from many sources. Whatever may have been the poli cy of the Republican leaders before the election in respect -of this vital matter, there is no question as $o what it is now and probably will continue to be. ' The government and people of Germany, and those German-Ameri cans who worked for and applauded the great Republican victory be cause they beJieved that it meant the tremendous advantage to Ger many which would result from a separate peace, are in for a bitter disappointment. So are cerain senators, chief among them Senator Knox, the lat ter being the author of a Senate a r?f.ofn TtOQI reavuuuiuu ucwiaiuig a ovhw v& j with Germany. It is extremely doubtful whether the Knox resolution will ever be re vived. It certainly, will not be unless Knox and the other so-called irre concilable senators decided to de clare war against President Harding and the overwhelming majority of senators of their own party. Of course nearly every Democrat in the Senate would fight the propo sition of a separate peace to the last trench. Whether the final decision not 4o include the making of a separate peace with Germany as part of the plan for the new relationship be- { tween America and the rest of the world was initiated by President elect Harding or by the Senate lead ers is not clear and Is relatively un important. The important thing is " ^ n -1 - 1 1 1 mat me decision nas oee^i nmue. It is one of the bag results of the many conferences which have been held at Marion and at Washington during the past two months, in which the "best brains" of both par ties, including men in ?nd out of of fice, have participated. One of the objects of those con ferences has been to interpret what' was in the minds of the voters of the country when they swept tne Republicans into office by such an overwhelming plurality. The Republican leaders, including the president-elect, knew perfectly well that their victory did not mean that every item of their platform and program was approved by the millions of voters who voted the Re publican ticket. They realized that their victory was in spite pf certain rnvirwlac onH mlan? pnunoiflteH in px u.uyivo their platform and on the stump. STEEDLY HOSPITAL SOLD TO Y. W. C. A.

Grist Winds Out 31 Years On One Paper?Works Sixteen Hours a Day York, S. C., Jan. 1$.?Mr. W. D. Grist entered upon the 32nd anni versary of his service as editor of The Yorkville Enquirer on January 1, a record of editorial service on the same paper that surpasses the length of service of any other South Carolina newspaper man. The veteran editor has witnessed many changes, political, social and otherwise during that thirty-orfe years of service; but remains unper turbed despite them all. He still put in sixteen nours a aay at ms aesK as he has been wont to do during all that time. The record of The Enquirer and that of Editor Grist who together with his brother, Albert H. Grist, are owners of the publication, it ra ther unique. They are the third gen eration of the same family engaged in the publication of The Enquirer here and their sons and daughters of the fourth i generation are en gaged with them in its publication. The paper was founded in 1855 by the late Capt. Lewis M. Grist and succeeded a paper founded here by his father, the late John E. Grist a quarter century before. Thus it is that the family have been engaged in .the publishing business here for more than a century. The Enquirer, which is regarded as one of the leading semi-weekly publications in the South, was the first country newspaper In the Uni ted States to install a linotype ma chine. That was more than twenty years ago. Since then the equipment has been increased and improved from year to year, until now, the plant is generally regarded as one of the most complete for a country newspaper in the country. Brought up In a printing office, the editor went to Atlanta when lit tle more than a boy and for a time was employed in setting type on newspapers in that city. Later he worked as a proof-reader and con Builder: / Abbeville, tributor under the late Henry W. Grady and for a time he taught 1 shorthand in the Georgia metropo ' lis.
